Matt Faller, Battlefront.com game designer and lead Beta Tester "Nothing stirs the soul like the sight of unflinching ranks of troops advancing across the field of battle with banners held high and fluttering in the morning breeze while artillery shells crash about them and cavalry saunters out to pick at the enemies flanks. With Les Grognards, you can finally relive the pageantry and vicious savagery of the Napoleonic era in stunning 3D. I am not only proud to be part of this project but genuinely excited about what this game will bring to wargamers aching for a game of this scale, scope and genre. Your long wait is over, Les Grognards delivers!"
